“We realized that the numbers were great and that these folks really lived in anonymity in our community,” Moore said.

Moore said the map’s purpose is to help residents help police.

“If they saw a person driving while intoxicated, they’d want to give us a call,” he said. “If they don’t have a driver’s license, and they’re driving, they should give us a call. If they’re in a bar, for example -- which would be in violation of their probation -- they should give us a call.”

Residents in Janesville have mixed opinions about the map. Resident Roy Nelson said he didn’t think it was important to have offender’s addresses.

“They put their pictures in their paper and so forth when they get that many drunk driving offenses. Thankfully, I haven’t had (that) problem,” Nelson said.

However, resident Eric Norman, who lives near someone on the registry, likes the idea.

“Like if I’m driving, since I got my temporary license last week, I want to know if this is the right road I should be driving in,” Norman said.

Leslie Reid maintains the site for the police department. She said to be on the maps, residents must have been convicted of drunken driving within the past five years.

“We’re not looking for people that have corrected their actions and no longer drink and drive,” Reid said. “We’re really looking for those that are still a threat to our citizens.”

Moore said it is difficult to measure the map’s impact, but two years after it launched, he said he still believes the project has merit.
